Hostgroup Issue

[Alex Dehaini]

Asam,

I have been using nagios for over 2 years now, never had any problem with
it. Until now, I have noticed my nagios server is a bit sluggish. A couple
of days ago, I added a host and a couple of services to it - nagios saw it
and later said the host wasn't added. I am having the similar situation now.

I don't add my host directly to host.cfg and services directly to
services.cfg. I created folders and include the folder directories in
nagios.cfg. So, the host and services have been added, I add each host in
it's own file - why nagios is not seeing it is the problem.

Here is the host config - it is in a file called smcantoments.cfg under
/usr/local/nagios/etc/radios/

define host{
        use                     aps
        host_name               sm at cantoments
        alias                   SM at Cantoments
        address                 10.217.226.168
        parents                 ap5.4 at baatsona2
        }

Here is the service config - it is in a file called
smcantoments-services.cfg under /usr/local/nagios/etc/allservices

define service{
        use                             aps
        host_name                       sm at cantoments
        service_description             PING
        check_command                   check_ping!200.0,20%!600.0,60%
        }

In, hostgroup.cfg, I added the following entry

define hostgroup{
        hostgroup_name  CANTOMENTS
        alias           SITE-CANTOMENTS
        members         ap5.7 at cantoments,sm at cantoments,switch at cantoments
        }

So, what is the problem?
